Pacair range hood

That's pretty high up! How effective is it that high?

 

I notice that you didn't install the back splash panel and the side panels either.

 

If I remember correctly the instructions said it needed to be installed 20 or 22 inches above the stove.

 

This unit also has a front glass panel (not shown) that folds out to catch the smoke from the front.

 

other than that, how does it work?

Installation Instructions say to mount 28"-32" above cooking surface. This one is 30". The Glass Panel, when down, as shown, hits me in the forehead as I lean forward to set stove controls. Lao po has no problem with this though.

 

URKidding.........I initially installed the backsplash on the sheetrock, but after Lao Po had the granite backsplash installed, which is 1" thick, the original backsplash and accompanying sides could not be reinstalled. I was going to modify and shift the entire unit forward to accommodate this, but Lao Po likes it the way it looks now..... I won't argue.

 

It works great.........All smoke and vapors, even from the front burners are immediately and with impressive velocity, sucked up and out even on the "low" fan speed.

 

The fans are powerful, but will not suck a bowling ball off the surface. Titleists will hover, however. The unit is not any louder than the recirculating microwave/hood combo which was replaced.
